I believe that the intent is that the proxy server not assume 1.1-style persistent connections. The prohibition does not apply to the non-standard Keep-Alive mechanism; that is why it is noted in the text you quoted: >> A proxy server MUST NOT establish a persistent connection >> with an HTTP/1.0 client (but see RFC 2068 for information >> about the Keep-Alive header implemented by many HTTP/1.0 clients). -- Scott Lawrence EmWeb Embedded Server <lawrence@agranat.com> Agranat Systems, Inc.
